Makora Magic


On Safari (Swahili for 'journey') in Botswana, after the outreach. We took a cruise around the Okavango Delta in makora's; hollowed out wooden canoes propelled by pole-carrying native. Sam rode with Josh, while Bec and I followed about 6 other MCM duos. It's pretty amazing to know that hippo's and pythons are below you somewhere and you're floating only 3 inches above the water level. We took a little hike on the island and, although we could see elephants across the way and spotted lion paw prints, mostly we just examined differing dung...

You two look like you are posing for National Geographic picture of the month.

Okay so I just saw a thing on hippos turning over canoes and killing people, what were you thinking? I guess you are crazy! Don't say I didn't warn you!
